From the halls of universities to the Oval Office, the issue of cybersecurity is occupying an increasingly central role in everyday life. The large growth in cybersecurity efforts in organizations of all types is undoubtedly due in large part to the havoc that hackers wreaked in 2014.

Cybersecurity isn't in the periphery anymore. It's not something you give five minutes of thought to at a corporate meeting and then forget for the rest of the year. Instead, it's front and center. It's in the headlines. It surrounds us all the time now.

The digital world is constantly evolving. More organizations are using mobile, cloud and social media solutions as vessels to connect and communicate with their employees, customers and citizens. Social media platforms such as Twitter, YouTube and LinkedIn provide real-time channels to communicate our news, views and also can be a critical tool for public safety used to inform the public.

As far as cybersecurity goes, 2014 was nothing short of exhausting. If you were lucky enough to not get hacked yourself, chances are you somebody — or, more likely, some business — that was. More than anything, what the past year proved is that hackers are bolder and more sophisticated than ever.
